I don’t normally rush to post these movie-themed exhibitions that are popping up all over the country lately, but this one is actually paying tribute to a hugely underrated director, plus it’s been wonderfully curated by Jay Shaw with many up-and-coming, largely unknown artists. Sometimes people get it right. “The Machines Are Winning: A Tribute To Sidney Lumet” opens Friday, September 9th at 7pm. The spot is Laundry on Lawrence at 2701 Lawrence in Denver. The leftover prints will be sold online the next day at Kingdom of Nonsense.

Mitch thanks so much for featuring the show and for the kind words! I’m very lucky to get to put this series together. The talent on display is really something else.
After Friday I think I’m going to sleep for a week 🙂

I love the modern typography treatments that contrasts with the painting style of the Jaw Shaw and James Martin posters. On the James Rheem Davis poster why is there Chinese(?) characters in the lower right corner. Is it from a scene in the movie or just decorative? It’s been a while since i saw the movie.

I had no idea until this weekend that Jay was located in Denver. I was super excited when I figured out that he did. I am posting this to my blog at Changethethought this week and telling everyone I know. I am excited to meet Jay, hopefully collaborate with him in the future and throw my support behind him. Can’t wait to attend this show and I am so excited it is here in Denver.
